We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
First time ever on the open market this fantastic family home offers flexible accommodation, an enclosed and private garden and off-road parking.
Upon entering you are greeted by a hallway with stairs rising to the first floor.
On one side is kitchen / dining room which is a superb entertaining space and has a range of floor and wall mounted units.
Integrated appliances include a double oven, fridge, freezer and dishwasher and there is ample space for a large family dining table.
From here you access a utility / cloakroom and a snug which could be utilised as a fourth bedroom. On the other side of the hall is a dual aspect sitting room with French doors out to the garden.
On the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms, with the two largest rooms benefitting from built-in cupboards. These are serviced by a family bathroom.
Outside to the front is offroad parking for several vehicles. Gated side access leads through to the rear garden which has been landscaped for low maintenance.
Laid predominantly to gravel with patio area, a pond and a Moroccan summer terrace, the garden offers a tranquil oasis.
Completing this property is a large storage shed and a further smaller shed for storage.
The historic market town of Faringdon, dating back at least to the 12th century, has a thriving community and amenities such as the Leisure Centre, Library, Faringdon Community College, The Elms and Folly View primary schools as well as The Old Station Nursery, doctors’ and dentists’ surgeries and The Place Family Centre.
Buses travel from the town to private schools at Abingdon. The town now boasts three large supermarkets.
Faringdon is also ideally positioned for the A420, leading to the A34, M40 and M4 and mainline railway services from Swindon, Oxford, Oxford Parkway and Didcot Parkway.
There is a frequent bus service through the town from Swindon to Oxford and back, linking to rail services and airports.
The Tower on Folly Hill was built by Lord Berners in 1935 and affords panoramic views across four counties.
For over 20 years, the town has been twinned with Le Mêle-sur-Sarthe in France and more recently with Konigstein im Taunus in Germany.
In 2004, Faringdon became the first Fairtrade town in the South East of England.
